stupid in-call mute button!!

[SAShady]

inevitably during every call, even with the phone smashed against my face, the mute button turns on. Then i'll be jabbering like a banshee, whilst the other party is asking "hello?" repeatedly. Are there any dialer skins? or some way to disable this?

[tyshawn]

So your screen doesn't turn off when you have the phone to your face?

Whenever the sensor on the on front (top) of the phone is covered my screen turns off. Yours doesn't do that?

I have Auto Brightness under Settings > Sounds & Display turned on. If yours is off then you may want to turn it on and see if that works.

Hmm...light must be getting to the sensor or something. That's the only thing I can think of..but you aren't the only one seeing this issue though so that's probably not it..

yeah my friend has the same issue. i think the sensor is so close to the edge that any shift of the phone will cause it to see light. Maybe they can make a fix for the sensitivity

Maybe the light is going in one ear and out the other, turning the screen on again

Seriously, I have had my screen come on twice while on the phone and I noticed that both times I had moved my handset a little while talking. It is a little touchy at times, but overall not too bad.

yeah, it's not every call. Mainly in direct light situations. None the less, a choice of skins or moving it to a menu would be nice

I have the same exact problem, people be like hello hello and then I noticed that the mute button has been activated.
